Alot of people disliked macros for some reason - I loved them.  So many of them would actually make me laugh mid flight.

I tried to change mine up about once a week.  ;)

i think macros were acceptable in RR, less so in FR... it wasn't teh macros per se as much as it seems for a time everyone must have been using 3 liners...


i never made a macro, i always typed them out...

"in my pj fly i will, shoot u down, buttflap kill!"

"chew toys! cull the herd!"

but my fav that i saw was,

"was it a) i warped b) i cheated or c) you just suck?"
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

Yep,  in FR you rarely saw any macros.  And heaven forbid if you porked ANY fields in FR (Bwahahaa).

In RR my one and only macro was "Smile for my gun camera!":p

I always loved the macros and used them both in FR (to the annoyance of some players :p) and RR.  I remember using "Another Foe Felled by Flos" in FR for quite a while, then later "Killed by a Krait! Hissssssssss!"  In RR, after joining the Hell Gods, I used "Killed by a Hell God(dess)!"  I often chuckled at some of the very clever and witty macros I saw, especially in RR.  :D

a favorite of mine was one Papa had...

After a kill he would hit the macro  "Whos your pappa"   Just about died laughing.  

Our squad didnt use channel 1 for Marcos,  just country channel and then it was kept simple   "CAF Kill" or a simple "1"  

But then the Squad would answer a Kill call with ODM!!!   which is the squad moto.  
( Oderint dum Metuant - Latin for "Let them hate, so long as they fear.")

Here in AH,  That tradition still continues,  we still give Kill Calls and Replys,  But we do it on Squad Channel.     I still give a ODM!! to my country men from time to time on country channel.

>>AW has brainwashed many into thinking if you put your face in front of the barrel, you won't get your head blown off<<<

Oohhh! I dunno guys :rolleyes: I pissed off quite a few guys in AW by shooting them during a head on merge. And everytime I shot em I was in an FW190 A8. It wasn't that you couldn't HO in AW, it was that the host threw out all but mebbe 25% of yer hits. Hehe, I can recall many a guy who tried to pass over or under me, and I'd let fly at em by pulling up into them as they passed; or dropping my nose as they passed under me and give em a canopy shot. They almost all accused me of using the HO, mostly because they thought they were safe if they flew right through me. ;) Hehe, another well known whine over there had to do with one's connection.Some of these guys after I shot em down would come over the arena channel and swear I was warpy or, they would ask me about my connection. These were the guys who had  a totally unrealistic opinion of themselves, and thought they couldn't possibly be shot down by me..."I mean afterall, I'm ranked 10th in the arena this camp, and he is only ranked 200th!!!???" :D I kinda miss that brand of dweebery.

>>I did hear that there was a way around it, just like there was a hidden base between C and B land to the west behind the mountain<<

Hehe, you could also fly off the map, and wind up on the other side and hit Az or Cz (depending on where your country wound up). Hehe the northernmost bases were always gettin porked :D

Miss the deathstars and some of the macros. Also used to tell the noobs that if you were in arena 1 and flew off the map going south you'd come out in arena 2..... was too funny. :D

Edit: To add, I had some fun A-26 dogfights fights with a guy named yacht I believe it was. Those were a blast.

The only TOS warning I ever got in AW was from excessive use of a macro one Thanksgiving when I was a tad bit tipsy and also had a sticky key (the one I selected for the macro - unfortunately).
